3:00 pm
it's midnight here in moscow tonight france and britain some of israel's ambassadors as international condemnation grows of progress in that goes announcement to colonise for palestinians to withdraw a. u.n. safety plane testament that could deal and the most painful go. on it entails coming up. also brushing turkey had lucrative business deals as president putin says the two countries are also looking at new ways to try to solve the syrian conflict while warning against a military buildup on the turkish border. spain's banking bailout eurozone finance ministers reconvene in brussels as madrid makes an official request for the e.u. to rescue its weak banks.
3:01 pm
kevin i would hear the team you sent to the smalling our top story france and britain have summoned the israeli ambassadors in their countries to get over why more settlements have been authorized in disputed lands near east jerusalem the u.n. and the have also said that israel's construction plans pose a threat to future peace negotiations more from our middle east correspondent paula slayer. it's happening in an area known as anyone and what it effectively means is that the voice that will be cutoff instrumental in this announcement is widely perceived as punishment against the palestinians for number one going to the un was with this by the number two winning it essentially winning that sees the palestinian state being recognized within one hundred sixty seven borders and given non observer nonmember observer states has asked the united nations now we're also hearing criticism of some european ambassadors european diplomats doing everything
3:02 pm
we're doing quickly. against israel now we're also hearing from the un secretary-general banking union to quote him he says that this has developed and in most fatal blow to the remaining choices of securing a two state solution amongst the punishment that the israeli government has taken is that they have frozen some one hundred million dollars in tax money that is welcome it's on behalf of the palestinian authority has built a painful blow to the p.a. because essentially can only cover around seventeen percent of its needs the rest of the money comes from this tax money comes from the united states from the european union if you look at the sick the population in this country they too are also unhappy they do not believe that the israeli prime minister netanyahu will go ahead with building these units they believe that it's almost a cheap route by netanyahu to try and gain support ahead of january's elections and
3:03 pm
that this is an internal matter to try and really build votes the middle yahoo government essentially sees this but and perhaps i should say not just in the technology government but many israelis feel that it was a one sided resolution that was put forward at the united nations and the point being made by the government is that they cannot be any kind of unilateral moves on the palestinian side they need to first be negotiations and only then can that lead to talks there needs to be richt tool. between both sides. but washington's lambasted its main middle east partner over the settlement plan saying they're ruining the peace efforts but nonetheless prime minister benjamin netanyahu brushed off criticism bowing to press ahead and continue construction. jeremy corbin told me he thinks television risking losing its allies netanyahu seems simply to have not cottoned onto the fact that the vast majority of the rest of the world support the right of palestine to exist support the right of palestinian recognition and
3:04 pm
therefore not of occupation of the west bank two state solution is something that everyone is that wonderful signed up to but the reality on the ground of gars still not having complete free movement in an out and huge number of settlements across the west bank under settler roads and of course the problems of east jerusalem suggest that it's quite difficult to achieve it unless there's a real will to withdraw the settlements and allow palestine to develop and i don't see that will at all with netanyahu if he can't even rely on governments that are basically quite sympathetic to israel and israel's claims then he's losing out big time all around the world and he just needs to wake up i think the washington support will weigh in very quickly obama has been reelected on the reelected president into a second term is that his most powerful and i think that netanyahu might do well to remember that he also very much involved himself in the internal politics the usa during the election campaign that can't even did himself very much the
3:05 pm
administration the movement around the world for palestine for palestinian people is unprecedented netanyahu should wake up and recognize that russia and turkey are ready to push the trade turnover to over one hundred billion dollars a year just for the big business announcements made during president putin's visit to istanbul but the two countries remain a lot of heads over how to solve the conflict in syria which neighbors to see how it is really at the meeting. syria dominated the press conference of the russian and turkish leaders to quote president putin we russia and turkey have common goals when it comes to syria but it's the methods of reaching that solution peaceful solution and that we cannot really quite agree on just yet other than that of course you also spoke about the necessity of keeping our eyes off the syrian issue there was a question from with a turkish journalist who said if there is a possibility that syria will attack turkey so
3:06 pm
a notion which the russian president dismissed saying that syria has to was going on inside its borders right now to even think about possibly going outside and attacking somebody he said that notion is the only posterous when it comes to turkey's recent request to nato to place patriot missiles on its border with syria russian president once again underlined the fact that russia does not at all wanted to see such a development and does not believe it will be a good idea. we do share turkey's concern over the events that are taking place on the border we understand the feelings of the turkish authorities and the turkish people but we call on them to be more reserved in their reaction because the creation of additional capabilities on the border will not ease the situation and in fact only aggravate it now when it comes to russia's official stance on syria we are not the promise defenders of the current syrian regime i said it before we are not the advocates of the present syrian authorities we are concerned
3:07 pm
about something else about what will happen in the future but we do not want to repeat the mistakes that we believe were made in the past let's remember how actively the libyan rebels were supported by the western community who could have thought those people who wants backed by the west would let the situation spiral into a tragedy and let the ambassador of the united states be murdered. before making any steps. one must think of the consequences. turkish prime minister said russia is the country's second major business partner and he hopes that russia will that the relations between the two countries will only get better and more active russia is helping turkey to build its first nuclear power plant saying that the works there are under way and of course they also talked about all sorts of energy resources being delivered through turkey and to turkey from russia and by russia so it was really it did seem like. the meeting between the two leaders day went by in
3:08 pm
a very amicable outlets here in fact the prime minister has called a good friend every speck full every speck full of even honorable friend both leaders have underlined the friendship by several times. considering deploying nearly two hundred soldiers as part of the nato mission to set of a patriot air defense missile base on the turkish border with syria more than sixty percent of germans being against the move according to a recent poll you have a business consultant christopher forstall told me things berlin seems content to turn his back on public opinion. our chancellor mrs merkel is obviously over fulfilling and prematurely fulfilling washington's wishes which is completely against the will of the people and sixty percent by the way is i think not the correct figure this is a regular tradition in our days that the parliament overrides the wishes of the people so many people here do not trust the parliament they do not trust the government and they do not trust the media and what we have here is you know eighty
3:09 pm
percent who are against the afghanistan issue and we sent our troops against their wishes then you know paying into the bankrupt euro currency to get it going against eighty percent of the wishes of the people and now we are sending these patriot systems and that very bad situation. still to come should the french cut off qatari cash will later why previously well to the best minds now the focus of high level skepticism is a missed influence. also britain's raise the alarm as they're forced to fork over two thirds of their monthly income in taxes talk about that this spring. wedge issues do just what their name implies they get between people and drive them
3:10 pm
apart like a wage and these issues seem to always take the forefront in the media things like abortion gun rights marijuana legalization and the weather well the weather isn't really a where. people should talk about it too much there's only so much room in the national discourse and the switch issues just eat up all of the time and attention but the thing is that there's a little something called the tenth amendment you know the one that says that any powers that are specifically delegated the federal government are reserved for the states and last time i checked the constitution doesn't have a special weed clause saying that marijuana has to be an all or. nothing a national proposal and that goes for abortion and most of the way to shoes also there's a simple answer all these wedge issues just left the states make up their own minds but then again without wages shoes what would the mainstream media have to distract us with but that's just my opinion.
3:11 pm
more news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images truth world has been seeing from the streets of canada. china corporations rule the day.

around russia we've got the future covered. spain has made a formal request for the e.u. fund this to help it spotted banks the deal will be discussed at the eurozone finance meeting underway in brussels details now than from artie's paper all of. spain has requested nearly forty billion euros worth of financial aid to help its crippled banking system this money will be distributing with thirty seven billion euros going toward spain's four nationalized banks and two point five billion going toward spain's so-called bad bank now the cash should be ready for distribution by around the twelfth of december finance ministers meeting in brussels they're expected to ok this cashiering as part of their monthly meeting but what it does mean for spain is that they join the likes of portugal and italy along with greece as countries who are entering this festive period hardly full of the joys of
3:14 pm
christmas regarding their finances the spanish people who showed in the recent past that they are very much upset with the current situation in their country and the fact that the government's asking for money in order to bail out the banks well that's hardly going to put them in good stead with the spanish people who have already spent it theory against the way that the government is handling the situation. manders chair of the libertarian party in the netherlands spoke to me see believes that bailing out banks isn't going to solve any of the real problems the roots of it all. there is a fundamental flaw in the banking system which is that. the government has basically taken over the banks they created the banking cartel degree of the central bank they allow banks to print money that is not covered by anything the government does intervene too much in the market. and the way to solve the problem
3:15 pm
is by government withdrawing by shrinking the role of government by getting government to spend less and tax less and regulate less that is what will get the comic back in order and that's what will. cause the job rate to grow again and unemployment is here. so. saving companies being supported by government is only a very short term solution in the long term it is a disaster. and you study has revealed that britain is one of the toughest countries to live in when it comes to paying taxes the research shows that some households are paying well paying seventy three percent of their income into tax with no hope of getting vital benefits in return i talked about this with. up to seventy three percent that's the amount of tax that your average british household pays once an average british household that's two kids two parents with one breadwinner so a lot of people who are just trying to raise a family being called goodbye this tax that goes towards your income tax your
3:16 pm
national insurance and what it all tallies up to is it means that some families are getting back as little as twenty seven p. for every one pound that they so a demoralizing figure a lot of other european developed countries they also pay a high rate of tax but nowhere near as high as the u.k. we've got the netherlands that pays around forty eight percent tax germany pays around forty percent average families that pay in tax but the feeling amongst a lot of british families is that they just don't get back as much as people in other countries do there's a lot of cuts to local services councils having to cut services inflation going up lots of families will brink of fuel poverty just trying to figure out how they're going to pay for christmas and a lot of experts saying that the u.k. is now the worst place to facilitate the creation of an aspirational nation so very difficult for just these hardworking families that are trying to raise their kids
3:17 pm
to watch the government doing. to help the people that fit into this category. well unfortunately kevin the government hasn't done very much they've spoken before about recognizing marriage within the tax system but that hasn't happened yet and it's making things very difficult means there are no tax breaks for these families now we spoke to a few londoners today on the streets and asked them about how they feel about how much tax they pay let's take a lesson. i'm not particularly looking for us personally pay less such as think that it should be fairer possible people should pay for fortunately they have it could be. better if it's less. work and we do we're not getting any people from it really. feels like it's all going to the fact that it's in the. communities it's just disappearing. business if you keep. going on where we need to get any piece
3:18 pm
that we've put in the mean time i mean all this time it's in the game. so as you can see you know a lot of people just extremely frustrated that they aren't getting any of their local star this is back it's in demoralizing figure and as the government had promised to recognise marriage to provide some of these tax breaks they haven't done that yet and in the run up to christmas with prices on the rise food prices fuel prices just the price of heating a family's home this is very very bad news and a lot of people feeling extremely frustrated about it. washington's reportedly planning to strengthen its international intelligence by hiring over sixteen hundred undercover agents over the newly fledged spy as well be reporting to the cia they're instead supposed to be. reporting and becoming members of the deal yet this present is world wide military intelligence unit that's got the words right
3:19 pm
well let's talk about this expose this a proposed expansion of the american spy network telecom of the shaft as the senior fellow at the washington based center for advanced defense studies you have no problem going to use words that i'm sure. of the washington said the largest of most sophisticated spy network on our planet already without it why we're supposed to make an even bigger. well first off it's a mistake to announce it first off it's kind of like telling me and me if you're going to you know start spying on me more i think that was a bad move this is not new i think the reason that now becomes the question general flynn who is over there now is the director real problems with defense intelligence during the time he was in a field he was one of the harshest critics of defense intelligence by the fact it was not responsive to he and other members of the military community now i'm a duty case officer i served my time and. as more about my book operation dark heart talks about the work i did for dui in afghanistan in two thousand and three and two thousand and four with that said our operations the operations we're
3:20 pm
talking about here are really designed to support those military forces in combat so what becomes peculiar obviously is we're drawing down two wars right now so the question becomes why did you expand at the time you're actually pulling out of afghanistan and i've already left iraq and that's leaving a lot of people with their head scratching their heads at this point i want to expand the cia the cia why out of the d i a it couldn't decide to do the job valid question at cia has become enamored with drones i don't know if you've been you know has been paying attention to this a little earlier. yeah i know and this is one of the problems they want to become a drone centric organization look that's really do we were the ones of flight the drones first were the ones that have most of the drones and i think it's a crossover if you will see i want to become more high tech and less traditional. it basically kind of go in the other way i'm not sure if it's healthy and it may be partly because you saw leon panetta come over from cia to go to d.o.d. and then you had a military man general petraeus leave dia to go over to cia so i think many much of
3:21 pm
this may be some level of high high level of policy cross-fertilization the question becomes is it healthy and should it continue to go on his transgressions sense leon panetta is probably leading to and you know protect the traces already of cia i mean this is the day that said stay and focus on these drugs for a minute there is mounting outrage will why did the u.s. drone strikes america's reluctant. to carry responsibility for the damage cause that's what we've been talking about a lot with this new spike that will bring any more accountability with a lot of the get even with us well it isn't theory would be if you had better spies on the ground you would have better intelligence driving those drone strikes i think it's heavily needed one of the criticisms that right here on our team before is that they're launching drone strikes as little as forty percent accuracy information when i was doing it you had to have eighty percent or better so the definition of the standard for an attack is i think rightly enhanced that the probability of striking the wrong target and thereby killing innocents which i think should be one of the things we always we should always take the high ground of the horse said with that said the expansion at this time really again one by one
3:22 pm
little leads one to wonder why are we doing it now based on the fact we are cutting back in some areas we are expanding the drone program but again i'm not sure if they're doing in such a way to actually do this nickel decent way i really do hope that they are doing and i think really briefly why it is being done now then. why i think there is evidence that we've increased the number of drone bases globally and then the global threat i think president obama has overstated the defeat of al qaida i think there's still an al qaeda threat i think we saw this obviously in benghazi and the horn of instability through northern africa and the question becomes how we deal with it obviously having boots on the ground spies old fashioned spies is critical the question becomes well they be used effectively frankly most leadership other than general clinton correct currently incompetent so if you give a bunch of incompetent people more resources you're still going to have a bunch of incompetent people with a lot of resources but no more effective in their application of their capability
3:23 pm
nicely put left telling come out of the chef a senior fellow at the washington of a sense of for advance to find studies thanks for being. here having me or i will have a brief this bring it to speed egypt's top judges have now agreed to oversee the referendum on the draft constitution in two weeks time according to the legal aide to president mohamed morsi it follows the standoff with the leaders is that his support. says who perceives the supreme court building you prevented judges from entering financially reacted to the intimidation by going on strike refusing to rule on the islamist control panel drew up egypt's new constitution this comes as anti morsi activists renewed calls for demonstrations against what they call an oppressive regime with mass marches planned for tuesday south korea saying now it's looking to reroute all passenger planes over the yellow sea it's to avoid any possible collision with debris from a long range missile that north korea says it's pulling towards later this month meanwhile to plans japan's deploy missile interceptors saying they're prepared to

a purely economic strategy to find all the sectors to invest in and to make money the other strategy has got there is religiously and geo politically driven it to mean that it's subjective is to explain radical islamism means one how business in north africa in the middle east in central asia as well in southeast asia and to develop such a strategy to get the western world to keep in century nationalist forces say the developing suburbs is only a cover up for investment into radical islamic groups that i was investing against libyan regime even a small market he was not the best guy actually they should have been interfering now we have a civil war involving a lot of islamists presence as in syria today we know that is investing in so we're just groups and arming them so all. of it not so good so good partner for us and stories like that of mohamed merah
